''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3'' features many changes and differences from the original SNES game. Many of them were made either to account for the GBA's lack of a backlight and button configuration or to modernize the game's appearance. | ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3'' features many changes and differences from the original SNES game.

*In the original, the coin graphics used for dark areas were also used for red coins disguised as normal coins. As such, the red coin locations could often be given away by the red shadowing around the bottom, whereas normal coins were entirely yellow. In the GBA version, the red shadowed coin graphics are primarily used for dark areas, and while there are still some areas where the red shadowing gives away the red coin locations, the hidden red coins are largely indistinguishable without the use of the magnifying glass. | *In the original, the coin graphics used for dark areas were also used for red coins disguised as normal coins.

*When Yoshi touches a Fuzzy in the original game, the background smears erratically and fades between random colors. The ground also ripples. In the remake, the background doesn't smear or tint. However, it does fade between white and its normal colors. The ground ripple is also less fluid in the remake, and is now done by the game itself. This probably happens because the Game Boy Advance is not able to handle the Super FX chip-powered graphic effects as well as the original, while also preventing any risk of seizures the original could have imposed. | *When Yoshi touches a Fuzzy in the original game, the background smears erratically and fades between random colors.

In all regions, the font used is the thicker one (used in the European version and the later American re-release in the original) instead of the thinner font (in the Japanese and American SNES games). Besides the font being updated, much of the wording has changed throughout the game's dialog. Notable examples include: | |||
In all regions, the | *In the opening cinematic, the story in the SNES version starts with "''A long, long time ago... This is a story about baby Mario and Yoshi...''" The GBA version starts out with "''This is a story about Baby Mario and Yoshi... A story that took place a long, long time ago.''" Also, the story states that in the stork's bill, he "supports a pair of twins" in the SNES version, while the GBA version states that he "carries a pair of brothers." The narrator also says "''WHOA!!!''" instead of "''WOW!!!''" | ||
*Most, if not all of the hint boxes have at least some changes in their messages. One of the more significantly changed hint boxes is in a secret room in World 3-2, which says in the SNES version, "We, the Mario team poured our hearts and souls into creating this game for your entertainment. It is full of secrets. Enjoy!" and in the GBA version, "How do you like this game? Goodies are hidden in every level, you know. You should look all over if you want to get 100 points! Investigate anything that looks suspicious." | |||
*The sixth Extra Stage of the game had its name changed from "Castles - Masterpiece Set" to "Ultimate Castle Challenge". | |||
*At the World 3-8 boss, when Kamek appears, he says in the SNES version, "''Give it up, Yoshi, you cutie without a navel! Ooopp- forget it...''" whereas in the GBA version, he says "''Give up, Yoshi, you egg-throwing maniac! Ooops... Forget that!''" | |||
*When entering Bowser's room, Kamek says "''YOU! are n-n-not welcome HERE!!! Yoshi, please hand OVER THE BABY!''" in the original, and "''Welcome!!! Yoshi, if you would be so kind, please HAND OVER THE BABY!''" in the remake. | |||
The GBA version's credits are shorter than the original, and list different staff members. | |||
*As this is a remake, the credits list "Original YI Staff" under "Special Thanks", though very few of the SNES version's staff members actually contributed to the remake. | *As this is a remake, the credits list "Original YI Staff" under "Special Thanks", though very few of the SNES version's staff members actually contributed to the remake. | ||
